Fantasy Impact:
The Orioles needed some pop in their outfield, and they've acquired it. Ward, an Angel since making his MLB debut back in 2018, is coming off a career-best season that saw him smash 36 home runs with 103 RBI. It's a bit surprising that the Orioles were willing to move former top-pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez, even though he did miss all of 2025 due to injury. Rodriguez won 13 games with a 3.86 ERA during a modest breakout season in 2024, and the Angels are obviously hoping he can reassert himself in 2026.
